Summary

In this third episode from the account of Hagar, we explore the story of Hagar from her own perspective, highlighting the truths about her character and looking closely at God's interaction with her. Through Hagar's journey in the desert, we see God show yet again that He knows what we need, and He alone can fill us with the strength it will take to walk where He leads us.

In this episode we delve into the story of Hagar, Abram, and Sarai, exploring themes of decision-making, passivity, and the importance of living out an active faith. I emphasize the need to learn from Abram's mistakes, particularly when looking at his passive responses to Sarai's actions. Looking closely at Abram's part of the story will encourage listeners to actively pursue God and engage with their faith. I highlight the consequences of passivity in relationships and the necessity of support from others as we continue walking out our faith in Christ.

This is the second of four episodes looking at Hagar's story from differing perspectives.

In this episode, I explore the story of Hagar from Genesis 16, focusing on the themes of dependence on God, the struggles of Sarai, and the cultural context of her decision to give her maid as an extra wife to her husband. Through Sarai's story we can see how easy it is to try and generate our own human solutions to God's leading and promises instead of relying on God Himself to do what He has promised.

This is the first of four episodes where we look at the same story from four different points of view.
